If that's true that you can't use Duty Finder for the end level dungeons, that's pretty cool. Because the LFG finder in WoW basically killed all server community.

I imagine duty finder won't work for the full party endgame stuff, or if they have stuff like BCNM from FFXI, but 5 man dungeons at 50 are almost certainly duty finder compatible.

I imagine the 4-man dungeons will be DF, for sure. But anything 8+, who knows.

A huge part of FF11 was not being a DB, so that you'd get invites to events and such. So I'm fine with this.

That being said... I know you all were plagued with the 7/8 situation in 1.0, so hopefully that won't be an issue. :D

Team 7/8!!

(6/8 when Ket finally realized it was 4am and he had to get an hours sleep before he went to work).

Damn, I would like to have it for those 7/8 scenarios.

I've only once had a wipe in a duty finder with a random...and the cool thing is it let us try again with the same people. So if we spent 4 hours farming a primal or a dungeon (which is not uncommon) as team 7/8 with one random....it wouldn't be so bad if it was the same random.

if 7/8 is a problem, we might be wise to make a Linkshell of Leaders or representatives from various major linkshells who can spread the word that a dungeon fight needs an 8th

If we start normally running into that problem again, that is a good idea.

I don't think the 7/8 would be a problem at launch and for the following months after and besides I was your 8th I was level 30 trying to get to the cap but no one wanted to level on the servers every one already had their max level characters and was not interested in leveling so I pretty much quit.

_________________

The whole "8 people or fuck you" idea got annoying for several reasons. One of them being team 7/8, the other being when we had 9-10 people who wanted to do the content. We would have to swap people out regularly which had it's own list of problems.

if we dont make it, someone will, and it will probably be one of the more useful linkshells.

Kio, earlier I mentioned that S-E said in a recent interview that DF may not work on end-game 8-man content, and that it most definitely wouldn't be available for the bahamut dungeon.

I don't mind if you cant use the duty finder to just find randoms, because I can understand why you wouldn't want to, lol.

However, I'll be rather let down if you can't use the duty finder to warp your already assembled party there.

Yeah i'd prefer to stand around our grand company housing or somewhere other than the crowded ass zones where people gather and wait in between fights.

It's also less embarassing on those bad days lol.

-Due to a critical issue that we have identified in the instanced dungeon "The Wanderer's Palace," the instanced dungeon will not be available at launch.
Please note that while the instanced dungeon "The Wanderer's Palace" will show up in the Duty Finder, it will be inaccessible. Please refrain from joining the instanced dungeon until the issue is addressed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Damn that one looked great too.

Ah damn!
